Role description

(BIPOC, 20–30s, Any Gender) NON-SPEAKING. Amateur theatre actor and member of a BIPOC community Shakespeare troupe. Appears as part of the ensemble in backstage prep scenes, contributing to the lived-in, communal world of the troupe. Troupe Member 3 is ambitious and a little anxious—someone who’s still learning to quiet their inner critic. They want to prove they belong and are often over-rehearsing or nervously adjusting their costume in the mirror. They admire the lead actors, and you can see them watching closely, trying to absorb everything. Their vulnerability adds texture to the ensemble. SOC
